Revision as of 08:22, December 4, 2009

Welcome to OrthodoxWiki!

Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please note that OrthodoxWiki is always in development, so not everything works quite right yet. You can help, though!

OrthodoxWiki is a community-edited encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity. Articles are created and edited by our members, and so everything that we do here is subject to review and revision. The result is a true consensus product, with every interested editor contributing his own knowledge and writing skills. As such, when you feel that criticism of an article is warranted, we encourage you to join in and fix it! Don't worry about breaking anything or doing something wrong—the other editors here are happy to jump in and help you learn.

Also please note that other editors will assume that you have read the Style Manual (our official editing guidelines). If you're wondering why an edit was reverted, an article renamed, or any other unexpected changes were made by another editor, check there.

Please also take a few moments to edit your user page by clicking on your name here, so that we can know a bit about you: User:Roman Z. Feel free also to add your picture to the OrthodoxWiki:User gallery.

If you are uploading images, be sure you're doing so legally and according to OrthodoxWiki policy. Failure to abide by policy may result in your images getting deleted without warning.

If you would like to experiment with the wiki, please feel free to do so in the Sandbox.

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and other discussion pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please sign your comments on Talk pages, so everyone will easily be able to see who left them.

You'll have to verify your email address before editing any pages. This helps us prevent spam. Don't worry, your email won't be viewable to anyone but the sysops. We respect your privacy.

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a part of our community! — FrJohn (talk) 21:54, March 12, 2009 (UTC)

Ukrainian OrthodoxWiki

Dear Roman,

Thank you for your interest in creating a Ukrainian version of OrthodoxWiki. Please see OrthodoxWiki:Localization for our vision of how this would work. A key thing for us is the translation of the "offical" docs -- the material about copyright and a basic consistency with OrthodoxWiki policies.

Also, it takes a fair amount of work to get something up and running and maintained. You'll need to be watchful especially about vandalism on the wiki.

I can get it started and start contributing articles. I have been on Ukrainian wikipedia for couple of years (the first article I developed on Ukrainian wikipedia was about Jesus Christ) and have contributed with more than 500 articles about saints on Ukrainian wikipedia and dozens of articles about Holy Land, Christian dogmas, events, feasts, sacraments etc.

Roman, all of this sounds great. Please give me up to a week to create the site. In meantime, you could work on the translation of the Copyright and Policy docs. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you! — FrJohn (talk) 08:57, March 13, 2009 (UTC)
